well then 24 hours in Sadao will change it so much more. Think Tarrantino's 'From Dusk 'til Dawn', Blade Runner, Mad Max and Alice in wonderland all rolled into one.

You sound likes it is no challenge whatsoever, physically or psychologically, to move around like that. I know many 45 year olds would gasp at your plans. I wish you many more youthful years 'tax dodging' your way around Asia 🙏🏻

@David *******

with all due respect David, you're very lucky to have reached 82 years old. You could just do a tax return and pay tax due on the money you TRANSFER into Thailand (we have no reason to believe that tax treaty's won't be honoured, and what is tax exempt in home country should be honoured here). You might forget to do a tax return. You might chose not to do a tax return. By the time they catch up with you, you will be in other realms where tax is no concern. But respect for trying to do the right thing of course. 🙏🏻

@David *******

yes they have written it, in writing, or print at least. It is your duty to find it, read it, understand it and abide by the new tax rules. I'm sorry i don't have a copy easy to hand. It was sent to me through this Facebook group a while back after I posted an enquiry. If anyone has, please drop a copy/link here. 👍

yeah because Thailand immigration are known for their integrity concerning 'stamps'. They say "never a hooky stamp has ever been issued.

@Adrian ****************

don't listen to that joker, I've been in your position, I maxed out the tourist/exempt stamps, an ED visa, and after buying a house here and committing everything to Thailand, I went with Elite visa as I didn't want to risk rejection. You should wait and see these 'visa changes', if they even happen. 👍

@Bart *************

what visa do you have that gives you any authority to tell others to get a 'proper visa'. Pipe down kiddo. I'm on holiday for 5 years now. There's not always a perfect fit visa.

Are you not extending those visas from inside Thailand ? Both the 60 day tourist visa and 30 day visa exempt stamp can be extended at an immigration office for another 30 days, for 1900 baht. So 2x tourist visas would give you 180 days (60+30 and 60+30). And each visa exempt stamp gives you 60 (30+30 and another 30+30). That's 10 months. You have spent them by month 6. Month 5 if you have been in Vietnam for a month.. you are doing something wrong.

yeah, it's literally not worth my time to deal with that much like my lazada returns, they just don't happen. Agora and many businesses do similar and its in the hope that so many customers won't apply the cash back, subsidising those that do.
